Impact of hypoxic and mesopic environments on visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and accommodation in subjects with LASIK surgery and aircrew candidate

ConclusionThere was no significant difference of visual acuity between the two groups regarding hypoxic and mesopic environment, but reduced contrast sensitivity was significant in LASIK group as compared to those of the control group. Accommodation was significantly lowered in LASIK group, compared with control group, in hypoxic environment. Whether postoperative visual performance after LASIK in aircrew during flying duty is safe might need further investigation.
